When Joshua returns home with his new wife Caroline (Meredith Salenger)–never mind that he is already married to Jessica (Emily Podleski)–and Caroline's young son Will (Connor Chavarria), problems continue to plague the family and the Mormon Church. Finally, a militia is formed by the State of Missouri with orders to attack the Mormons. Joshua heads up the troops and must decide whether or not to step in and save his family.
